EVENT: Fri., Feb. 27---PHYSICAL EXAMS OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

State rules requiring schools to calculate the boddy mass index of students and relay the findings to the student’s parent or guardian are up for a public hearing on Friday in Boston. The Department of Public Health has proposed the rules as modifications to current requirements that schools annually assess the height and weight, and screen the hearing and vision, of all students. A second public hearing on the regulations is planned for March 2 in Marlborough.

(Friday, 2 pm, 250 Washington St., Boston)
